Treatments / Aerolase Skin Resurfacing
Aerolase Skin Resurfacing
Understand the difference between Neo Elite skin treatment and Era Elite surface resurfacing.
Many concerns. Every skin tone. One platform.
Aerolase® is the laser platform we trust across our service line, chosen because it’s safe for every skin type, comfortable enough not to need numbing, and effective on concerns that older lasers cannot treat. Your provider matches the protocol to what you want addressed, and combination therapy in a single visit is often possible.
All skin types
Safe and effective across the full Fitzpatrick range, including darker skin tones that conventional lasers cannot treat without risk.
Virtually painless
Numbing cream is not required for most treatments. Most clients describe the sensation as warm.
No downtime
Non-ablative treatments. Mild redness for a few hours is the only expected side effect. You return to normal activities the same day.
Aerolase Skin Resurfacing
How each treatment works, what happens at your appointment, and what to expect afterward.
Spot / Small Zone
Focused care for a concern in a limited area.
Aerolase Neo Elite delivers 1064nm laser energy into the skin for concerns including acne, redness, and pigmentation. Aerolase Era Elite is an Erbium laser used for precise surface resurfacing. These are different treatments, selected for different needs.
Your provider reviews the concern, treatment area, skin history, and available technology. A focused zone or wider treatment area can be chosen as part of the plan.
Recovery depends on the laser and treatment intensity. Surface resurfacing can require more aftercare than a gentler skin treatment. Confirm the expected recovery, sun protection, and follow-up with your provider.

Built around a platform that works across all skin types.
Most laser platforms involve trade-offs between energy delivery, skin-type compatibility, and comfort. Aerolase is designed to minimize those trade-offs across our service line.
All Skin Tones
Safe on Fitzpatrick I to VI.
Particularly relevant for melasma, PFB, and pigment work, where laser selection matters most for darker skin tones.
Multiple Concerns
Combine treatments per visit.
Combination therapy is often possible, for example redness reduction paired with hair removal or a pigment protocol in a single session.
Comfort & Speed
No numbing, no downtime.
Most sessions run 20 to 30 minutes. Mild warmth during, mild redness after, normal activities the same day.
Consult, treat, maintain.
Aerolase® treats a wide range of conditions, so your provider builds a plan around your specific concerns rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Identify what to treat.
We review your skin type, the concerns you want addressed, and any conditions or medications that affect candidacy.
Series sized to the concern.
Most protocols run 3 to 8 sessions depending on what we’re treating. Rejuvenation: 3 to 6. Acne: 4 to 8. Hair: 6 to 8. Pigment: variable.
Touch-ups when needed.
After the initial series, periodic maintenance keeps results consistent, especially for conditions like melasma and rosacea with ongoing triggers.
Before you book.
Common questions clients ask before their first Aerolase session.
A wide range, including acne and acne scars, melasma, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, spider veins, skin rejuvenation and tightening, ingrown hairs (PFB), laser hair reduction, stretch marks, and more. Your provider will confirm whether your specific concern is a good fit.
Yes. Aerolase® is safe and effective across Fitzpatrick skin types I to VI, including the darker tones that conventional lasers can damage.
Most clients feel mild warmth. No numbing cream is required for most treatments. Sessions are much more comfortable than older laser or IPL devices.
It depends on the condition. Skin rejuvenation typically needs 3 to 6 sessions. Acne protocols run 4 to 8. Hair removal: 6 to 8. Pigment work varies. Your provider builds a personalized plan at your consultation.
Often, yes. For example, a laser facial paired with a peel, or pigment treatment combined with hair reduction. Your provider will confirm what’s appropriate for your skin.
Face, underarms, arms, legs, bikini, Brazilian, chest, abs, back, and custom areas. Everywhere except the eye area.
None for most services. Mild redness for a few hours is the only expected side effect. You can return to normal activities immediately.
For hair reduction: shave the area the day before; don’t wax or pluck for 4 weeks. For pigment or skin work: avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for 2 weeks prior.
